ACV Resistance, Propulsion, and Powering Parameter Setting Study and Technology Assessment
Abstract
ACV Resistance, Propulsion, and Powering Parameter Setting Study and Technology Assessment. This project will develop the hydrodynamic envelopes for small craft that will travel across the ocean, through the surf zone, and onto and across the beach. The basic hydrodynamics and powering associated with such a craft will be bounded based on the potential cargo capacity, the potential transit speed, the potential range, the estimated maximum sea-state for safe operation, and the potential for maneuvering at sea. We will examine the hydrodynamic process by which the craft will achieve lift, the hydrodynamic resistance the craft will encounter in a seaway, the propulsive system(s) needed to generate the required thrust to overcome this resistance, the forces required for maneuvering and control especially as regards travel through the surf zone, the power and energy density of the prime mover, and the specific fuel consumption of the prime mover. A variety of existing and notional hull configurations will be examined.
